Have you ever wanted to join the royals while they celebrate Christmas at Sandringham Estate in England? Well, now you can! Sort of. The more than 150-year-old estate in Norfolk, around.

Have you ever wanted to join the royals while they celebrate Christmas at Sandringham Estate in England?

Well, now you can! Sort of.

The more than 150-year-old estate in Norfolk, around 100 miles north of London, recently renovated the historic Water Tower on the property, and it is now available to rent.

Prices start at around 151 pounds a night — a little over $200 — but can be much more expensive for shorter visits. The price tends to decrease per night with a longer stay.

MEGHAN MARKLE'S ROYAL EXIT HAD WARNING SIGNS YEARS EARLIER, VETERAN CORRESPONDENT SAYS

The neo-Byzantine water tower was originally built in 1877 to provide fresh water to the royal residence and it was a functional part of the estate for nearly 100 years.

"THE WAIT IS OVER… Introducing The Water Tower," Sandringham wrote on social media on Tuesday while sharing footage of the classic renovation. "Rising majestically above the Norfolk countryside on the historic Sandringham Estate, a remarkable piece of Royal history is being unveiled for a new chapter."

Photos and videos of the "romantic retreat for two" give glimpses of an elegant living room replete with traditional British décor, including a fireplace, chandelier and royal and historic paintings showing the estate.

The lush bedroom upstairs, which has its own fireplace, offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and a medieval-looking back staircase heads to the roof where even better views of the rolling English hills will have you thinking fondly of Jane Austen.

"Designed by renowned engineer James Mansergh, the Tower’s distinctive neo-Byzantine architecture, circular form and intricate brickwork have stood proudly above the Norfolk landscape for almost 150 years," Sandringham added.

The water tower joins two other places on the estate — the Gardens House, which sleeps eight, and the Folly, which sleeps six — that are available to rent.

There are also several places where the royals go for their summer retreat,  such as Balmoral Castle in Scotland, available for rent.

Charles inherited Sandringham and Balmoral, both of which are private estates, from the late Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Victoria bought Sandringham in 1862 as a retreat for her son, King Edward VII.

Around 200 people work at the estate, which includes farms, a sawmill, a juice pressing plant, formal gardens, a restaurant, and the Sandringham Exhibition & Transport Museum.
